The Gateway Summer Youth Conference at HOD takes place this summer as part of the wider Discipleship Course running from March to December 2026 in three terms.
What?
- Prayer
- Friendship
- Worship
- Creativity
- Teaching
Gateway will have a “conference” format, concentrating some of the elements of the wider Discipleship Course into a shorter time. The program will include teaching from the community and from invited speakers.
Daily program
Each day during your time with us will mix prayer, fellowship, teaching, helping out, and time together with our community and the other young people – and some relaxation and fun!
What did previous Gateway participants say?
‘The whole Gateway was great and I would like to thank all the HOD people for taking care of us and putting on the programs for us. You guys are great.’
‘Food? Amazing! Pudding? Amazing! Also prayer (quiet time, morning prayer, times of worship…) Amazing and full of Holy Spirit!
I enjoyed everything, all the activities during Gateway, it was a good mix of different things.’
‘Thank you so much for all the work and prayers that the HOD community invested in the Gateway. I can really feel the fruits of those two weeks…’
‘I love you! Thanks for opportunity to be with you! God bless you! ❤’
Want to stay longer?
If you are able to stay for longer to experience all these things, we invite you to consider coming for a longer time on the Discipleship Course 2026 to include these two weeks.
How much?
We suggest a contribution of £300, if you are coming only for the time of this conference.
